Have you attempted any of these? The formulae are pretty straightforward, so you should give them a try before asking people here to work them out; you’ll learn a lot more by doing them yourself than simply by reading what others here do.

Give each one a shot, post your answers and how you got them, and await the critique; you may be surprised.

i don t have the results to compare, is pretty new this to me… so i wuld like to be sure whta I did

#4

Let’s start with 1).

You can do this on your financial calculator, with the TVM buttons: i, N, PV, PMT, and FV. Which of these are you given, and what are their values? Which one do you need to calculate?

#5

I don t have the file in front on me , i ll post tomorrow… btw I don`t use a financial calculator.

thank you in advance!

#6

If you plan to pass the CFA exams, you need to learn to use a financial calculator. That should be a high priority; some might say that it’s urgent.

You’re welcome.

regarding this

Consider a case of perfect capital markets without frictions or taxes. In addition, suppose that

proficient arbitrageurs are active in this market, so that all arbitrage opportunities have been taken away. Company Y’s stock currently trades at $12 per share. Tomorrow, it will pay a dividend of $3. What is the ex-dividend price of the stock?

i made this calculation 12/ (1+(3/12) = 9,6 is correct?

or just simple 12-9 = 9?

#10

regarding this

The market expects the dividends paid by Company X to grow at a constant rate equal to g. The current ex-dividend price of the stock is $40. The value of the first dividend to be paid next period is $1.20 and the discount rate is 5%. What is the growth rate, g, of the stock?

g = 0,05- (1,2/40) = 2%

is it correct?

#11

regardig this

Calculate the market capitalization rate for a firm that has no growth opportunities and pays all earnings out in the form of dividend payments. Analysts expect the firm’s earnings to stay constant going forward, at $5 per share. The current stock price of the firm is $60.

i made the following (5/60) + 0 = 0.083 is it correct?

#12

Regarding this

Analysts expect Company Z’s dividends to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The firm is just about to pay a dividend amount equal to $10. Let the discount rate be 8% per year. What is the current stock price?

P= 10/ (8%-5%) = 333.33 is correct? or i should add another 10?

#13

I got 2199,08. Close enough.

#14

Thank! What about the above results?

#15

wait… how can you be a CFA candidate and not know how to use, or own, a financial calculator???

If you are serious about CFA, even before registering, you should buy a calculator and be familiar with it. it’s not that difficult to use, and the textbooks basically teach you how to punch in the keys!

I hope you are not registered for December exam…

#16

You first.

#17

All the other questions are simple “plug in the forumla” questions, where do you find these questions? have you registered for the exam? do you have the textbooks?

are you a candidate???

(in shock)

#18

I wrote above my results

#19

For those who are wondering where these questions are from, these are the exact homework questions from an online course - An Introduction to Corporate Finance on Coursera.org.

Dear financialpassion, I think you should be able to clarify the method of solving these questions from the online class forums.

Thanks for clarifying.

It’s not like we don’t want to solve these problems, but it’s just weird to be asking these questions here, when the source should provide answers to these problems right? (if it’s not provided then this is not a very good course)
